The beast tide retreated, and everyone in Shiyun City breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. Those who survived were glad they were alive, while those who died were drowned in the endless corpses of humans and beasts, most of whom were nameless and had not even been found. However, all the heroes who have fallen here will be erected in the same monument in Shiyun City, and will be worshipped by generations of Shiyun City residents.

Outside Shiyun City, there is a group of mercenaries who are not afraid of death swimming among the corpses of many people and beasts, while obtaining the beast pill that has been killed, while looking for the corpse of the fallen brother. Among them, the free mercenary group has the largest number of people, except for the wounded who are seriously injured and need treatment and are responsible for taking care of them, everyone else is in the area they are responsible for obtaining the beast pill and looking for the body of the fallen brother. In the end, after more than an hour of hard work, for the sake of safety, Yang Yi ordered everyone to return.

According to statistics, more than half of the casualties of the free mercenary group in this beast tide were killed, and more than a dozen people were seriously injured and unable to fight again, which shows the horror of this beast tide. Fortunately, the bodies of all the fallen brothers were still intact, and after being cremated at the scene, their ashes were put into a pour and brought back when they returned.

"Xiao Yi, this is our casualty statistics, you can take a look. Xiang Haoyu walked to Yang Yi, who was deep in thought, and sat down slowly, holding a piece of tissue paper in his hand, which was full of dense descendants.

Yang Yi slowly took his hand, staring at the names of the fallen brothers in front of him, and a drop of hot tears flowed down his cheeks, wetting the tissue paper in his hand.

"They're all heroes. Yang Yi said silently.

"Haoyu, you send a message back to the headquarters, send a few people to bring these seriously injured brothers back to recuperate, and send the ashes of the fallen brothers to the Thanksgiving Hall. Yang Yi wiped away his tears and said lightly.

"Good. Xiang Haoyu patted him on the shoulder twice, and then turned to leave.

"Brother Yang, the city lord is invited. I don't know when Leng Xiyan walked over slowly and said softly.

"Hmm. Yang Yi nodded, stood up slowly, calmed down his emotions, and called Wang Ye and Xiang Haoyu to go to the already dilapidated City Lord's Mansion with the city lord's personal guards who had come to invite.

When Yang Yi and the others stepped into the makeshift council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, they found that it was already full of people, as if they were waiting for them.

"The three of them are the leaders of the Free Mercenary Regiment. At this time, a middle-aged man in the Imperial Realm wearing shabby armor asked.

"Exactly. Yang Yi replied respectfully.

"You may be seated. The middle-aged man in the Armor Emperor Realm gestured.

"Thank you. Yang Yi thanked him, then found an empty place with Wang Ye and Xiang Haoyu and sat anywhere.

After the middle-aged man of the Armor Emperor Realm glanced at the three of them, he spoke: "Everyone, everyone gathered here at this time to discuss the layout of the next beast tide, and I also ask you to speak freely and provide good ideas." ”

"Lord of the City, may I ask when our reinforcements will arrive. At this moment, a large man with a strong body asked.

The city lord hesitated for a moment and replied, "It should be a few more days. ”

"May I ask the lord of the castle how many days it is, and please give me a clear explanation. Dahan continued.

"It could be a day, it could be three days, or even longer. The lord replied.

When the big man heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "In other words, even the city lord, you don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. ”

The city lord glanced at Dahan calmly, and replied lightly: "That's right. ”

"Lord of the Castle

Do you know how far the current beast tide has reached?" asked the big man.

"Of course I do. The lord replied.

"Brothers here, everyone should know in their hearts, if there is no strong reinforcement to arrive, we will definitely lose the next beast tide. Dahan slowly stood up and said with a fist at everyone present.

"Everyone is aware of the results of this beast tide. Although we survived unscathed, and its achievements were the best in this time, it was all based on the support of the Free Mercenary Regiment, and if the Beast Tide had not been joined by the Free Mercenary Regiment, do you think we would still be here?"

"And this beast tide is more and more powerful every time, there was only the beast king before, and now the beast emperor has begun to appear, it is inevitable that the beast tide will not appear next time. If that's the case, do you think there is any hope for us?"

Dahan's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, making the atmosphere present extremely tense,

"Lord Castle, may I ask if we have any reinforcements coming, is it your excuse for appeasement, or is it a fact. A middle-aged man in a green robe broke the tense atmosphere and asked lightly.

"So far, I am not satisfied with everyone here, and I have asked for reinforcements, and I have also replied to it, just in the past few days. He also said that we should be patient and not abandon the city, otherwise we will be ruined. The city lord stood up and said righteously, his eyes full of sincerity.

"I don't know what kind of credentials the lord has. The middle-aged man in the green robe continued to ask.

"Why, are you planning to abandon the city and flee? At this moment, a high-ranking Emperor Realm powerhouse walked into the council hall.

"This brother, may I ask who you are?" the city lord asked respectfully when he saw this person suddenly get up.

"In Xia Wu Rui, I came to support on the order of the head of the regiment. The high-level Emperor Realm powerhouse replied apologetically.

"Come, please be seated. When the city lord heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he quickly gave up his place and prepared to let this person sit down.

"Thank you, Lord Castle, for your kindness, just stand here below. Wu Rui slowly walked behind Yang Yi and the others, standing in a military posture, respectfully.

Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Senior, please sit down." ”

"Thank you, Commander, just stand up. Wu Rui replied respectfully.

"Subordinate!" Wu Rui replied, but everyone present was stunned.

"Senior, you're kidding a bit big, aren't you? Yang Yi smiled awkwardly.

"Commander, my subordinates have joined the Free Mercenary Regiment a year ago, but the three leaders have not met with their subordinates, so they don't know. Today, my subordinates listened to the order and came to support. Wu Rui replied respectfully.

When Yang Yi and the others heard this, they remembered a big gift that Hua Honghao gave them before leaving.

"I see, I understand, but please sit down, Brother Wu. Yang Yiming realized.

"Yes. Wu Rui answered, and then sat down.

"Lord Castle, please continue, please forgive me for disturbing me before. Yang Yi apologized to the city lord.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. "He has been in the position of the city lord all the year round, although he doesn't know the inside story, he can still guess a point or two, and he can also understand the meaning of Yang Yi's words, that is, don't ask too much, just continue to deliberate.

"Guys, let's go ahead. The city lord smiled at Yang Yi and the others, and said solemnly to everyone.

"Lord Castle, may I ask for the voucher? The middle-aged man in the green robe looked at Yang Yi and the others, and then continued.

"There is no evidence now, and the subordinates who sent the message back have died in this beast tide. The city lord shook his head lightly and said regretfully.

"Hehe, Lord of the City, you can think of such an excuse for dying without proof. Dahan sneered.

When the city lord heard this, his face turned cold, and he said: "What I said below is true, and there is no lie, let alone using the fallen hero as an excuse. ”

It seemed that the attitude of the city lord had changed, which made the big man a little frightened, so he changed his way and said with his fists clenched: "Lord City Lord, please dissipate your anger, there was indeed a mistake just now, please forgive me." ”

"Hmph. The city lord snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Dahan was also relieved, so he continued: "Lord City, even if there is a strong reinforcement here, I don't know when it will arrive, in case it will be after the next beast tide. ”

"That's why everyone gathered here in a hurry, and that was to discuss countermeasures and hold on until reinforcements arrived. The city lord said with a solemn face.

"Lord of the City, in your words, aren't you gambling with the lives of all of us here?" said the big man stiffly.

"That's it, that's the only way. The lord replied.

When the big man heard this, he suddenly got up and said, "If that's the case, I'll leave in the future, I don't want to leave my brothers' lives here." ”

As soon as the big man's words fell, the middle-aged man in the green robe also stood up and said, "Lord of the city, I have also taken my leave." ”

With the experience of the two of them, everyone else began to move and wanted to quit here, after all, compared to others, it was their own lives that mattered most. But just when everyone was about to say goodbye one after another, Yang Yi stood up.

"Slow two. ”

"Ao, Captain Yang doesn't know what to say. Dahan stopped and looked back and asked.

"Most of you are mercenaries, and so are you. As mercenaries, we must abide by the principle of mercenaries, and after accepting the task, we cannot break the contract at will, so please be cautious. Yang Yi said solemnly.

"Commander Yang, we are also forced to be helpless, the next wave of beasts is coming, and the reinforcements have not arrived, we will only die here if we stay here. Dahan said a little excitedly.

"This big brother, please don't get excited, even if reinforcements don't arrive, it is impossible for the next wave of beast tides to annihilate us in one fell swoop. If everyone here has any scruples, our free mercenary group originally intended to take the initiative to take on the two areas, I don't know how. Yang Yi said with a firm face.

Hearing this, Dahan shook his head and smiled, and said: "Commander Yang, it's not that I am underestimating your strength, but that more than half of your brothers have been killed or wounded, even if there are strong people in the regiment coming, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold one area, let alone two areas." ”

"This brother Tai dares to boast about such a Haikou, he will definitely be able to do it, and you don't have to worry about it. However, our free mercenary group can take on two areas, and I wonder if anyone here will leave. Yang Yi said domineeringly.

"If you all have to leave, then you might as well find a place to bury yourselves. At this time, Xiang Haoyu stood up and sneered.

"Are they all cowards?" Wang Ye also stood up at this time and said coldly.

The words of Yang Yi and the three of them completely calmed everyone present, including the city lord, Dahan and others, and Wu Rui, who had always had a problem with Yang Yi and the three of them, was a little unconvinced, and he also changed his opinion of them at this time.
